AutoText in protected forms
I have a 1 page letter that I need to have drop down menus and text field for
the body, but the capabilty of having autotext fill other areas. I have entered a continuous section break just before and right after the area I need protected. I have highlighted the section I need protected. When I use the "tools" protection rather than the form lock protection icon, the only options I have to choose from are formatting restrictions and editing restrictions. I have tried using the formatting restrictions alone, I have tried using the editing restriction of "filling in forms" alone and both of these option in conjunction with each other. After I type in the password and "enforce" the protection. I still can only use autotext or I can fill in the forms. It will not allow me to do both in the same document. What am I doing wrong?

AutoText in protected forms
I finally found a tread with my same problem. We use autotext extensively.
In 2003 we built autotext and stored them in our .normal. Then from Tools, Macros, Organizer there was an "Autoext" tab that allowed us to move the named autotext into for a specific file, which could be protected. Macros within the protected file ran the autotext. That "Autotext" tab no longer exists in 2007. We're in a real bind, all our contracts are protected. HELP!!!!! -- Thanks, Chris "Mac" wrote: I have a 1 page letter that I need to have drop down menus and text field for the body, but the capabilty of having autotext fill other areas.

AutoText in protected forms
Autotext still exists in Word 2007 (Insert Document Parts) but macros that
call autotext entries may require some modification in order to continue to work eg Dim sType as String If Application.version = 12 Then 'Word 2007 - Use the Building Blocks Organizer Dialogs(GetDialog).Show sType = "Building Blocks" Else 'Not Word 2007 - Use the Autotext dialog. Dialogs(wdDialogEditAutoText).Show sType = "Autotext" End If will pop up the appropriate dialog or If Application.version = 12 Then 'Word 2007 - Use Building Blocks ActiveDocument.AttachedTemplate.BuildingBlockEntri es("Date").Insert _ Whe=Selection.Range Else 'Not Word 2007 - Use Autotext ActiveDocument.AttachedTemplate.AutoTextEntries("D ate").Insert _ Whe=Selection.Range End If will insert an entry from the attached template called 'Date' Note that there is no autocomplete with autotext in Word 2007, but you can type the first few unique characters and press F3 to insert. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Chris wrote: I finally found a tread with my same problem.
